Security is non-negotiable in remote desktop software, and HopToDesk delivers with a robust lineup starting with Two-Factor Authentication (2FA). This feature anchors a suite of tools designed to keep your connections safe. Here’s a look at how 2FA leads the way and the key security elements that make HopToDesk stand out.

2FA: The Essential First Step

Two-Factor Authentication kicks things off by adding a second verification layer beyond your password. Pair your credentials with a time-based code from an authenticator app, and you’ve got a solid barrier against unauthorized access. It’s simple, strong, and detailed on our support page. With 2FA, even a compromised password isn’t enough to breach your session.

End-to-End Encryption: Total Privacy

Next up is end-to-end encryption (E2EE). Every screen share, file transfer, and chat is locked down from device to device. No one—not even the HopToDesk team—can intercept your data. It’s privacy you can count on, every time.

Peer-to-Peer Connections

HopToDesk favors direct, peer-to-peer (P2P) connections to cut out unnecessary risks. No complex setup needed—smart networking keeps it secure and seamless. Relay servers, when used, stay fully encrypted, ensuring safety isn’t sacrificed for speed.

Flexible Access Controls

Control who gets in with customizable permissions. Paired with 2FA, the Dashboard lets you set IDs, create invites, and define access levels. It’s security tailored to your needs, whether for personal use or a team.

Open Source Trust

HopToDesk is open source, meaning the code is public for anyone to verify. This transparency ensures features like 2FA and encryption hold up under scrutiny, building trust through visibility.

2FA Sets the Tone

It all begins with 2FA—a foundation that amplifies every other feature. In today’s remote world, it’s a must-have for secure access. Download HopToDesk, enable 2FA, and see how top-tier security can work for you, free and fast.
